University of Ottawa- Finance vs Queen's Applied Economics

Ok so I have this dilemma that is really bothering me and I need to study for a math test tomorrow, so I'm hoping you guys can solve the issue for me.

The dilemma is that I am having trouble deciding between two programs. The first option is Queen's Economics. The pros for this is it has a better reputation and I would have some access to their business faculty which is one of the best in Canada. As such Queen's also has better networking opportunities than Ottawa. The second option is Finance at the University of Ottawa The pros of this is I am much more interested in the course material than Queen's.

I want to choose the program that is the best investment. My plan after undergrad is to get a job in high finance such as investment banking or go to law school and work has a lawyer in corporate finance. So what option do you think is best?
